Let's me have the car back, at this moment the injectors are out.

Well, i'm back with mixed feelings.

1st The Maverick is back together and it pulls like he never did (and the power box is disconnected for now).
2nd I have lots of errors on the ECU, altough none of the symptons.

---------------------------------------

From what i could find with the paper clip, i found 11 errors:

13 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
15 - ???
17 - ???
21 - Ignition Signal
22 - Fuel Pump
28 - Cooling Fan Circuit
34 - Knock Sensor
36 - EGR Control-Back Pressure Transducer
37 - Knock Sensor
42 - Fuel Temperature Sensor
47 - Crankshaft Position Sensor

A video from the errors:

------------------------

What was done:
The fuel injection pump was in very bad shape, full of engine oil inside (faulty ring) and with a lot of usage inside.
So, i bought a second hand fuel pump in way better shape then mine but with the electric parts damaged.
We used all the mechanics of the new one and the eletronics from mine.

This was the fuel pump inside:


Fuel from the fuel filter (left) and fuel from the pump (right):


Some guidance on what can be generating all these errors would be appreciated.

Thanks.

PS: It was very nice to drive the Maverick again after 5 weeks!!!

Crickey mate!!! That's some list

I'd clear them all and re-read, some may be historical and no longer even relevant.

Then let us know which ones come back

Good graft though mate.

How do I clear them?

Using the paper clip I thought I did that, but they came back...

It's a dark art!!! and does differ between ages, Rick documented it somewhere on here, you might have to get friendly with the search.

Yesterday i found that workshop guide.
I will give it a try today.

Well, didn't get the chance to put my hand on my Maverick.
I will be collecting it today, the mechanic didn't solve the problem.
He gave up.

I will need your help to resolve this.


Today i will begin with the workshop give to read and reset the errors and do a visual inspection of the engine bay (cables, etc..).

There is any guide with the electric connections on the Maverick? 2.7TDI ?

There are two pumps on the Terrano, Bosch & Zexell both have different code reading via the paper clip method, one has short and release to get the codes and short and hold to clear, the other has short and hold to get codes, then release to clear, this is why there is a lot of confusion re codes, Rick

That's what I was waiting for!!

[elty001]

I'm almost positive it's the bosch set up that you leave connected to read the codes???
Been a while since I've done it to be honest.

[lfteixeira]

Thanks for the feedback.

My pump is a Zexell.

The problem was lack of knowledge of the mechanic (fuel pump expert) and electrician.
The electrician wanted to take my ECU to repair it, it must be a burned track he say'd...
And the fuel pump guy didn't disconnected the battery while removing the pump...

Using the workshop guide i reset the ECU, turn off ignition, on again and no MIL !!!

Try to read again, it gave my the error 55... man... again... wait the 55 code is: "No faults found"... Happy again!!!

Went for a drive and it goes like never did and this with the tuning box disconnected...



This movie is over... let's start the next.

[lfteixeira]

Now i have a rear locker to install.
Bought a ET136 (Eletric locker), let's see if it's as good has the air lockers.


Body roll: since i lift the Maverick (2"), new rear springs (jimnybits) and a tweak in the front torsion bars, i'm afraid of driving above 60mph (100Km/h), any time i have to do a course correction it feel like the Maverick doesn't "respond" in time.

Since i removed the rear anti roll bar, i'm thinking is there anything in the market to make the roll bar disconnectable from inside? Like the Wranglers have?

Thoughts?


A few pictures in a bit.

Well, no comments, let's move on.

Installed the rear rollbar again and the roll, as expected, improved.
Lost around 1" of wheel travel.

Got to drive it more to fell the differences.



Another topic, poweeeeeeeeeer.

Since the fuel pump was repaired the Maverick now goes like never before, so, i reinstalled the power box... and boy, he pulls very very well.

As usual i can't be happy for too long... so the clutch don't hold that much torque. Example, 5th gear below 2000RPM, press the fun pedal and as soon as it pass the 2000rpm it goes to 3000rpm in a second and stays there until the speed catches up. (like an automatic).

So, recomendations for a chutch? Sames as the original? Upgraded? Customized? Thoughts?

[elty001]

Banshee fitted a 3.0 ltr clutch in his 2.7 with no drama but have read in a few places the the flywheel may need machining depending on wear.
A good quality standard clutch should give you approx 80 - 100k miles
